Fisherson's Idea

[Fisherson]

You could use that, or you could use the hero as the bullet, like what I do in my game.
 (In my way of shooting, you have to aim yourself. but if you miss, and hit a wall, the bullet will just stay there... and also, wrapping maps like that will make the camera follow the bullet, which might be a bit weird.)

Can you explain step by step how to do this?
Like for example if the hero goes shooting off,it dosn't look realistic now does it,unless you have a battle
animation substitute for the hero..

By the way,since i can't play my own ABS i'm making two versions in one i'll use a CBS
and in another i'll use this system.Muraiko is now fully playable
still working on everybody else here's a list of playable charaters expected for the final game

David
R2-R4
Stu
Mike
Lonewolf
Grandy
Jack
Muraiko
Phayre

[Muraiko]

Yay! I'm playable! Can't wait to see me!


Well, for mine, I use the hero as the bullet, because it would be easy to check if you hit an enemy or not. Just put in the trigger conditions if the attack butten was pressed, and collides with hero. I didn't battle animations, because I already use one when you press the button first. (I use it when I show the character shooting with a gun, and then they turn into a bullet, and run forward. I also turn on a switch, and teleport an event of the hero in their place, so it at least kinda looks like the hero is standing still, and they just shot a projectile) Of course doing it my way means you can only shoot one projectile at a time. After you shoot once, the dummy of the hero just waits right there, and you have to time how long they wait, until you teleport the hero back, turn them back to normal, and turn the switch off, to make the dummy disapear. It can be kind of annoying, because once you shoot, and you have the enemies set to move towards hero, they will move towards the bullet, and look like they are trying to get shot. I just made a custom movement in my game, Where the enemies just walk towards the bullet for only one, or two spaces, and then say move randomly. (For some reason, collides with hero means the hero is moving towards the event, and the event has to be moving towards the hero kind of...)


Something that I think about the tutorial I just found, I'm not sure how it works for peircing. It looks like it uses corridanates to check if you are parallel to an enemy, so if there are two foes, one right behind each other, I think you actually might hit both of them. Wether you like that idea or not, I'm sure you could make it work.

Thanks i'm going to try both of theese ideas,i'll make a new test game so i can do it.
By the way you are an amazing graphical artist,i love your Muraiko sprite!
I made a katana that works with your chartacter,can you make weapons as good as you can make Charas?
If so i'd like youi to make some for your character,if you want to that is.

[Muraiko]

Thanks for the compliment! (I didn't know he was that good... the only thing I like about him is his hair...)

Actually, when it comes to weapons, I'm just not really good at that...
If you played my game, and looked at how I made each character with their weapons, you can see that it's really nothing special, like a simple three pixle tube, with brown coloring, and I call it a bo staff!

So... sorry. I can't help out, especially with Katana, because I have no idea how to make them look fancy or cool looking...

Try with this and see what you make.


All there realy is to making cool weapons and charas is this:
Use at least three shades and if your an artist use a "light source".If don't know what that
is just go outside and look at stick or a rock in the day time look at the shadow patterns
and try to draw it on paper.

[Muraiko]

Awesome! I'll give it a shot. I'll post up what I made after I finish it, which might be tomorrow or something.

[Muraiko]

I know I said I'd post it tomorrow, but I got with it today, so I guess I might as well give it out now. Here it is, my battle char:


Here what the poses are, from top, to bottom:
Running left
Running Right
Attacking (Both hands I guess.)
Idle Stance



Spell Casting
Defending (Kinda looks weird, I know...)
Dead
Bad Status Condition
Taking Damage
Using Item
Victory stance (It kinda looks like two swords, but I tried to make it be one katana that he's spinning around in his hand...)

I tried my best to kinda make it the same style as yours. The item one seems to match.

[Fisherson]

Those are just amazing do you do requests?Because its awesome i made one of you my self but
your's is so much better!By the way i meant to edit the katana to make a "weapon".
"But wait ,Fish,sprite sized battlers don't use weapons."
Sure they do just look for a topic by the name of Weapon templete for Insane JPs templete.
I'm goning to post a battler that uses mini weapons in my gallery along with some new sprites.
Nice work though,Muraiko.

[Muraiko]

Woopsy!

I didn't know it was suppose to be in the weapons folder...
Well, I saw David's battle char, and saw him actually holding a sword, so I thought you were doing that one thing where characters are always holding weapons no matter what. Sorry though!

(I'm not really experience to do requests yet... I just wanted to make a battle char because I never made one in like, three years... So I thought it would be fun to try again.)

[Fisherson]

Where did you find a battle chara of David?Do you mean the screen shot,because that
is david using my weapon templete.I meant to post a diffrent screen shot, ,one with
David using a diffrent weapon.

(I'm not really experience to do requests yet... I just wanted to make a battle char because I never made one in like, three years... So I thought it would be fun to try again.)

thats cool,i didn't realy nead it i just wanted one,when you get some more experiance maybe you
can help me do request at my request thread,which is closed till i finish the first demo.

Update:I've been too busy to use that templete,i'll try it tonight.I'm currently working on
First chapter.So far 20% done so far.I have to leave out the custom skill system for the demo
and maybe the finial game too,because there are too many characters for me too make
skills for.
